Cherry Chocolate Soap Recipe

Nature’s Garden has a new soap recipe on the block! Cherry Chocolate Soap Recipe is an adorable way to show off your talents as a soap maker! We have used 2 different types of melt and pour soap to make these adorable little bath treats; Diamond Clear Melt and Pour Soap and Cocoa Butter Melt and Pour Soap. We have also incorporated some Organic Cocoa Powder to give the soap its rich, chocolate color and scent! Of course, our Cherry Fragrance Oil, which smells exactly like a bowl full of sweet and tart cherries, was the perfect addition to this yummy soap!

Cherry Chocolate Soap Recipe: What is Melt and Pour?

Before we get started on our recipe, let’s talk a little about melt and pour soap base. To start off, Melt and Pour is a soap base made with all basic ingredients that you will find in any type of soap. Vegetable glycerin, coconut oil, palm oil, sunflower oil, purified water, titanium dioxide. Nature’s Garden offers quite a selection of melt and pour soap base. Honey, cocoa butter, mango, oatmeal, hemp, soya, diamond clear, sls free, shea butter and goat’s milk. Melt and Pour soap is perfect for when you want to get creative with your soaps and don’t want to work with cold process soap. With melt and pour, there is no specific soaping temperature, no cure time and no lye to mess with!

When it comes to creating amazing soaps, you are only limited by your imagination. The possibilities are endless! With Melt and Pour it’s a perfect way to start if you are beginning to learn about soaping. You can experiment with fragrances, colors and designs! Also using melt and pour, you will still get the feel of creating sweet smelling products for friends and family.

One more positive thing when working with melt and pour, it is always consistent. When adding fragrances or colors to melt and pour, you should always get a positive outcome. There is no seizing, soap colorants will stay true and you always have perfect lather when you go to use your cool, new soap!

Cherry Chocolate Soap Recipe: Organic Cocoa Powder

Cocoa Powder in soap? You may scratch your head on that one, but cocoa powder has some amazing benefits to it. Using Cocoa Powder in skin products can help promote healthy skin tissues, firm and renew new skin cells and promote healthy cell development. Cocoa powder is packed with antioxidants and skin nourishing vitamins such as A, B1, B2, B3, C and E. Plus, minerals like magnesium, calcium, copper, and zinc!

Cherry Chocolate Soap Recipe: Before You Get Started

Now it’s time to get started making these sweet bath time treats, but before you do it’s always important to clean and sanitize your work area, your equipment and all of your packaging materials. Also, prepare a bottle of rubbing alcohol with a sprayer on top. This is to help prevent air bubbles in your soaps. In addition, it is suggested that you wear gloves, protective clothing, and a hair net while preparing this recipe. Lastly, have all your ingredients and equipment handy. When creating recipes, it’s always good to have everything right where you need it to keep the process moving smoothly.

Cherry Chocolate Soap Recipe: Preparing Your Cherries

Your first step in creating the cherry chocolate soaps is making the cherries. For this, you will need a Cherry mold. We are using the Cherries mold from Flexiblemolds.com. These molds are amazing to work with for both soaps and candles. They are durable, flexible and clean up in a snap! So, go ahead and chop up your Diamond Clear melt and pour into chunks and add 150 grams to a microwavable safe bowl. Melt your soap in 30 second intervals, in the microwave, until melted. Then, once the soap is in a liquid state, add 6 grams of Cherry fragrance oil, 6 grams of Vanilla White Color Stabilizer and 2 drops of Tomato Red FUN Soap.

As a side note: we will only be adding Vanilla White Color Stabilizer to this part of the recipe. Cherry Fragrance Oil has a small percentage of vanillin it. Vanillin is an ingredient in some fragrance oils. It can cause your product to turn brown, so as a preventative measure we will be adding some Vanilla White.

Now, mix this well to incorporate the ingredients and to make sure the colorant is well distributed. You will want a nice, bright cherry red!

Cherry Chocolate Soap Recipe: Total Recipe Amounts for the Cherries

150 grams Diamond Clear Melt and Pour Soap

6 grams Cherry Fragrance Oil

6 grams Vanilla White Color Stabilizer

2 drops Tomato Red FUN Soap Colorant

Cherry Chocolate Soap Recipe: Pouring the Cherries

Next, pour the soap into the Cherries mold and allow to setup for at least an hour. Once they have cooled and hardened, you can remove the cherries from the mold and set them aside. These will be used later.

Cherry Chocolate Soap Recipe: Preparing the Bottom Layer

Next, you will be preparing the bottom layer of the soap. Go ahead and chop up your Cocoa Butter melt and pour soap into chunks. Weigh out 45 grams into a microwavable bowl. Microwave this in 30 second bursts until the soap is at its liquid state. Now you will add 2 grams of Cherry Fragrance Oil. You will also add 3 drops of Brown Oxide and 6 drops of Black Oxide FUN Soap Colorant. Mix these ingredients well. Your soap should have a nice dark, black-brown color to it.

Cherry Chocolate Soap Recipe: Total Recipe Amounts for Bottom Layer

45 grams Cocoa Butter Melt and Pour Soap

2 grams Cherry Fragrance Oil

3 drops Brown Oxide FUN Soap Colorant

6 drops Black Oxide FUN Soap Colorant

Cherry Chocolate Soap Recipe: Pouring the Bottom Layer

Now that our bottom layer batter is mixed well, you can pour the melted soap base into each cavity of the silicone mini muffin mold. This layer will only be 1/4 inch. So, you will only need to pour a small amount into each of the 12 cavities. When you have finished, give your soap a light spray with the rubbing alcohol. You will let this setup and cool before moving on.

Cherry Chocolate Soap Recipe: Preparing the Whipped Soap Layer Part 1

The next step will be preparing the whipped topping layer. First, in a clean bowl, weigh out 145 grams of Whipped Soap. Then, add in 5 grams of Cocoa powder, 14 grams of Vegetable Glycerin and 13 grams of Cherry Fragrance Oil. You can now use the hand mixer and mix the whipped soap base into a frosting consistency.

Cherry Chocolate Soap Recipe: Preparing the Whipped Soap Layer Part 2

The second part of the whipped soap will be the addition of some cocoa butter melt and pour soap. In a separate bowl, weigh out 145 grams of the cocoa butter melt and pour. In 30 second intervals, melt your soap until it is liquid. Then you can add this to the whipped soap base. Take your mixer and once again, whip until “frosting-like”.

Cherry Chocolate Soap Recipe: Adding the Whipped Topping

Now that you have your “frosting” is ready, you will be topping off the cupcakes. Before you start, give the bottom layers of your soap another quick spritz of alcohol and then using a spoon, dollop your frosting on top, filling the remaining portion of the mold. Allow these to set up before removing from the mold. Once they are ready to remove, you can set them aside on a paper plate.

Cherry Chocolate Soap Recipe: Making the Red Drizzle

So now our soaps are ready for decorating! We will be making the red drizzle in this step. In a clean bowl, weigh out 15 grams of Diamond Clear Melt and Pour. As done in previous steps, melt the soap in 30 second intervals until it as its liquid state. Next, add in 2 drops of Tomato Red FUN Soap and mix well. You should have a nice, bright cherry red.

Cherry Chocolate Soap Recipe: Adding the Red Drizzle

Using a small spoon, drizzle the tops of your finished soap bottoms with the cherry red soap. No need to be fancy! You are going for a homemade look to these soaps! Since this drizzle will be acting as the “glue” for the cherries on top, it is important that you add the cherries before the drizzle sets up.

Cherry Chocolate Soap Recipe: Topping off with the Cherries

So now you need to add the cherries we made earlier to the tops. Simply take 3 soap cherries and place on top of the red drizzled tops of your soap. As long as the red drizzle has not set up the cherries should adhere soap.

Cherry Chocolate Soap Recipe: Making the Chocolate Drizzle

Next up comes the chocolate drizzle. In another clean bowl, weigh out and melt 15 grams of Cocoa Butter Melt and Pour Soap. Once it is liquid, add 3 drops of Brown Oxide FUN Soap and 1 drop of Black Oxide FUN Soap to create a nice, chocolate brown.

Cherry Chocolate Soap Recipe: Finishing With the Chocolate Drizzle

Just like you did with the red drizzle, take a spoon and drizzle your “chocolate” over the tops of your cherries.

Cherry Chocolate Soap Recipe: Your Finished Bath Treat

Allow your soaps to setup and now they are ready to use! These chocolate treats would look adorable wrapped up in little treat bag! They smell amazing and they look good enough to eat! You may have to attach a warning label that says they are not edible!

I don’t know about you, but these soaps made me want the real thing! So, I thought I would link you to our inspiration! This delicious dessert (yes I had to try it) was the reason for this soap recipe! These Black Forest Mini Cheesecakes are the real thing.

Rustic Tree Trunk Soap Recipe

Lately, we have been looking to bring the outdoors in with some of our fragrance fun recipes. Well, this soap recipe does just that. Our next soap making recipe was inspired by, what else, nature. Natures Garden is getting back to nature with this tree trunk inspired soap scented with Cracklin Birch Fragrance Oil. So, read below to find out how we made our Rustic Tree Trunk Soap Recipe.

Rustic Tree Trunk Soap Recipe: Some of the Ingredients We Will Be Using

Before we begin, we will talk about some of the ingredients we will be using. It is important to understand the importance of some of the ingredients in this recipe. Each item we will be using has a purpose and we will talk about some of these below.

Rustic Tree Trunk Soap Recipe: Crackling Firewood Fragrance Oil

Cracklin Birch Fragrance Oil by Natures Garden is a masculine arrangement that begins with top notes of herbaceous pine, balsam, and citrus bergamot; leading to middle notes of white flowers and earthy sandalwood; sitting on base notes of woodsy patchouli and violet. Cracklin Birch Fragrance Oil is one of our best selling candle and soap scents. It is popular all year long, but is even more popular in the fall and winter months.

Rustic Tree Trunk Soap Recipe: Soya Milk Melt and Pour Soap Base

Next, we will talk about the soap base we will be using in this soap recipe. Our Rustic Tree Trunk Soap Recipe uses Natures Garden’s Soya Milk Melt and Pour Soap Base. This soap base is wonderful. It will leave you with a fabulous squeaky clean feeling. Our soya milk melt and pour soap comes in a two pound slab that has guide lines to help you cut. In addition, this base contains no SLS and no added detergents. Of course, none of our products are tested on animals. Finally, all of our soap bases are gluten-free.

Rustic Tree Trunk Soap Recipe: FUN Soap Colorants

First, you should know that the FUN Soap Colorants are simply pigments dispersed in vegetable glycerin. They are my favorite colorants to work with. One half ounce of a FUN Soap Colorant will color about ten pounds of soap when used in a white soap base. The main reason why these are my favorite colorant is because it is so easy to get a nice bright color in white melt and pour soap. In addition, these soap dyes a perfect in cold process soap. They come through true to color in any type of soap.

Rustic Tree Trunk Soap Recipe: Vanilla White Color Stabilizer

Natures Garden is often asked about Vanilla White Color Stabilizer. So, I thought I would take a minute to talk about our vanilla white. This is used in a variety of bath and body products, but it is not for use in candles. When used in a body product, it will help prevent discoloration when it is caused by the vanillin. While there are a ton of ingredients that can cause discoloration it is most often the vanilla content that causes it. So, vanilla white will prevent this type of discoloration. However, it will not prefect discoloration caused by other ingredients. So, if the fragrance oil does not have a vanillin content listed in the description, do not use vanilla white.

We are also asked about the usage rate and the aroma of the Vanilla White Color Stabilizer. First, our recommendation usage rate for vanilla white is one part fragrance oil to one part vanilla white. So, in this recipe, we use 58 grams of the Cracklin Birch Fragrance Oil, so we use 58 grams Vanilla White Color Stabilizer. In addition, I would like to mention that yes, the vanilla white does have an aroma to it. However, we have never experienced a time that the aroma of the stabilizer over-powered any of our fragrance oils.

Rustic Tree Trunk Soap Recipe: Glad Press’n Seal

Next, let’s talk about the Glad plastic wrap that we used. Now, we tried a few different methods, including regular plastic wrap to achieve the tree trunk look in our soap. However, since the plastic wrap is thicker, it worked perfectly. The Pess’n Seal Wrap creased perfectly and allowed us to create folds in the wrap that looked like tree bark. The Glad Press’n Seal Wrap can be purchased at your local grocery store.

Rustic Tree Trunk Soap Recipe: Vegetable Glycerin

In this recipe, we use vegetable glycerin for our Rustic Tree Trunk Soap Recipe. We use the vegetable glycerin to make the melt and pour soap pliable. We will start by pouring the brown soap into a cake pan, then, it will be removed and placed into the mold. The addition of vegetable glycerin allows us to shape the brown soap, bending it to the shape of the mold without breaking or cracking.

Rustic Tree Trunk Soap Recipe: Prior to Starting

Before you begin preparing this melt and pour soap recipe, we recommend wearing protective clothing along with a hair net and gloves. Also, go ahead and clean your work area and place all of your supplies in the area that you will be working. Finally, in your bullet bottle, add rubbing alcohol and place one of your fine mist sprayers on top. Now, you are ready to begin making your tree trunk melt and pour soap.

Rustic Tree Trunk Soap Recipe: Prepare Your Cake Pan

Prior to melting your soap, you will need to prepare you cake pan for your rustic tree trunk soap. This pan will be used for the brown portion of the soap once it is melted. So, place your pan in front of you. Then, cover the bottom of the pan with the Press’n Seal Wrap. Next, you want to bunch the plastic wrap up a bit. The goal is to create vertical creases in the wrap. This is what will create the bark like look in the soap. Once you have prepared your pan, go ahead and move on to preparing your soap.

Rustic Tree Trunk Soap Recipe: Prepare Your Brown Soap

First, we will prepare our brown soap. So go ahead and get your cake pan out. Then, cut up, weigh, and melt 300 grams Soya Milk Melt and Pour Soap. You want to melt your mp soap base in thirty second intervals in the microwave until the soya milk soap is in a liquid state. Make sure you are using a microwave safe dish.

Rustic Tree Trunk Soap Recipe: Pouring Your Brown Soap

Once your pan is prepared, lined with wrap and your soap is ready, it is time for your brown tree trunk soap to be poured. So, now, we will be pouring your brown soap. Place your pan in front of you and pour the melted soap into the cake pan. You want to fill the about half of the pan. Then, spray the poured soap with rubbing alcohol to remove any air bubbles that have formed in the soap base from pouring. Finally, allow the soap to setup before moving on.

Once your brown soap has setup, go ahead and remove it from the cake pan. You will notice that the soap is flexible, this is due to the addition of the vegetable glycerin. We will trim and shape this to the shape of round loaf mold. It will need to be the exact size of the mold. So, trim the soap to the length of the soap mold. Then, place it inside the round loaf soap mold and press it inside the mold. You want to make sure that the soap fits tightly in the mold. Finally, trim the edges of the soap so that it is the same length and width of the soap mold.

Rustic Tree Trunk Soap Recipe: Prepare the Cream Colored Soap

Now, we will prepare the cream colored portion of our soap in our Rustic Tree Trunk Soap Recipe. This portion will be the remaining portion of the soap. The cream soap will be poured on top of the brown soap and create the inner part of the tree trunk.

First, weigh out and melt 1162 grams Soya Milk Melt and Pour Soap. Melt the soap base in the microwave in 30-second intervals. Melt it until it is in a liquid state. Be careful not to over-heat the base.

Rustic Tree Trunk Soap Recipe: Pouring the Cream Colored Soap

Once your soap has been colored to a cream color, and scented with Cracklin Birch Fragrance Oil, it is time to pour the melted soap into the round loaf mold. Prior to pouring the cream colored soap, you will want to spray the brown layer with rubbing alcohol. This will help the two layers adhere to each other. Make sure you spray the previous layer thoroughly. So, once you have sprayed the brown soap, pour the cream soap right on top. Finally, once again, spray the soap with rubbing alcohol to release any air bubbles that may have formed. Then, allow the soap to setup before moving on.

Rustic Tree Trunk Soap Recipe: Slicing the Soap

Once your soap has setup, you can remove it from your round loaf mold. Then, go ahead and slice the soap loaf. We recommend using your soap making mitre box and mitre box cutter. So, place your soap in the mitre box. Then, use the mitre box cutter to slice your rustic tree trunk soap. After you have sliced your tree trunk soap, it can be used right away.

Christmas Confetti Soap Recipe: Whipped Topping Recipe Weights

Christmas Confetti Soap Recipe: Prepare Your Green Soap

We will begin by preparing the green soap. A small amount of the green soap will be used for the confetti portion of the soap. The remaining green soap will be used in the loaf portion of the soap.

First, you will need a dish that is safe for the microwave. In this dish, weigh out 415 grams of Natures Garden’s Diamond Clear Melt and Pour Soap. Now, melt the clear mp soap base in your microwave. You will want to melt in 30-second bursts, stirring occasionally. Continue to melt the soap until all the melt and pour soap is in a melted state. While you are waiting for the soap to melt, lay out a piece of wax paper.

Finally, pour about 130 grams of the green colored soap onto your sheet of wax paper. Alternatively, you can use an extra mold to pour your thin layer like I did. Spray this soap with rubbing alcohol to eliminate any air bubbles. Allow this to setup.

The remaining green soap will be used for the green portion of your loaf. So, slowly pour the rest of the green soap into the mold. Then, spray the green soap with rubbing alcohol to release any air bubbles you see in your soap loaf. Next, just allow your soap to setup.

Once the green soap that was poured on the wax paper has setup, we will begin cutting our confetti. So, place your soap on a cutting board. Then, begin cutting the soap into small squares. Put the cut up soap in a small bowl and set it aside for now. We will come back to it in just a bit.

Christmas Confetti Soap Recipe: Prepare the Red Soap

We will once again use a portion of the soap for the confetti and the rest will be used in the red layer of the soap loaf. So, cut and melt 415 grams of Diamond Clear Melt and Pour Soap in the same manner you prepared the green soap. Once again, while the soap is melting, lay out a piece of wax paper.

Now, remove the soap from the microwave and add the 9 drops of tomato red soap colorant, 17 grams Fruitcake fragrance oil, and 17 grams Vanilla White Color Stabilizer. Stir your soap to completely incorporate the colorant and Fruitcake fragrance oil completely. Then, pour about 130 grams of the melted red soap onto the wax paper. Allow the soap that you poured on the wax paper to setup. You can set the bowl of remaining red soap base aside, we will come back to it.

Christmas Confetti Soap Recipe: Prepare Your Red Confetti

Next, once the red confetti soap has setup,use a knife to cut the soap into very small confetti like squares. Once you have cut them, you can place the red soap in the bowl with the green soap. Then, go ahead and mix them together. This will make adding it to your soap easier later.

Christmas Confetti Soap Recipe: Prepare Your White Soap

Once your green layer of soap has setup completely, you can prepare the white layer. So, in a mixing bowl, melt 570 grams of Yogurt Melt and Pour Soap Base. Then, add your Fruitcake fragrance oil and Vanilla White, Finally, use a spoon to mix the soap.

Now, spray your previous green soap layer with rubbing alcohol. Next, pour the melted white soap directly on top of the green layer. Then, while the white soap base is still in its melted state, drop half of the red and green confetti into the white soap layer. Finally, spray the white layer with rubbing alcohol to release any air bubbles that have formed in the soap. Allow the white layer to setup before moving on.

Christmas Confetti Soap Recipe: Pour Your Red Soap Layer

Now we will melt the red soap layer. Once the white layer has setup, you will need to remelt the red soap base you set aside earlier. Remember, you want to melt the soap in 30 second bursts only until it is in a liquid state. Be careful not to overheat the soap.

Next, we will pour the top red layer. So, once again, spray the previous white soap layer with rubbing alcohol. Then, pour the red soap directly on top of it. Finally, spray the red soap with rubbing alcohol to release any air bubbles. Allow the red soap layer to setup.

Christmas Confetti Soap Recipe: Prepare Your Whipped Soap Base

Now, we will be preparing the whipped topping for our soap. You will need to move rather quickly through the next few steps. First, in a mixing bowl, weigh out the 150 grams of the Natures Garden whipped topping, 18 grams if the vanilla white, 18 grams of the Fruitcake fragrance oil, and 17 grams vegetable glycerin. Use a hand mixer to bring the whipped soap base to a whipped frosting consistency.

Next, simply place the 150 grams of your Natures Garden Yogurt Melt and Pour Soap in a mixing bowl. Then use your microwave to melt the soap base. Melt it to a liquid state, use caution not to overheat the soap.

Once the soap is melted, pour it into the mixing bowl with the whipped soap and the vegetable glycerin. Begin beating the mixture with a hand held mixer. When the soap looks like whipped frosting, stop beating.

Christmas Confetti Soap Recipe: Topping Your Soap

Next, we will begin topping our soap loaf. So, using your spoon quickly scoop the soap frosting on top of the soap. You want it to look like whipped cream on top of the soap.

When all of the soap has been covered with, you can begin adding the confetti. You will use the remaining red and green confetti to top your whipped cream topping.

Finally, allow your soap to setup completely. Once your soap has setup, you can use your mitre box and cutter to slice your soap. Then, your Christmas Confetti Soap is ready to use. We hope you love it and have had as much fun creating it as we did!

Melt and Pour Soap Benefits

We at Natures Garden would like to share some of the melt and pour soap benefits with customers that may not know too much about soaping. There are quite a few different methods one can use to create soaps, so it can be a bit overwhelming for new soapers. Every method has some benefits that you may enjoy, but you must choose the method that will be best for you and the situation you are in.

While many find melt and pour soap to be one of the easier ways to make soap at home, even the most experienced soapmaker may come back to this method. Honestly, it all depends on what the soaps are needed for and the time you have available. So, at one point or another, anyone can benefit from knowing a bit about this method. If you have never used melt and pour soap or are thinking about trying this method again, then we’d like to share with you all of the great things about melt and pour soap. So, here is why melt and pour soap is a great soap making method!

Melt and Pour Soap Benefits Great for Beginning Soap Makers

Due to a few different aspects of this soap making method, beginning soap makers may want to start with this method. This is an easy way to introduce soap making into your crafting. This method won’t have you working with lye right out of the gate. This can help prevent you from feeling overwhelmed with everything all at once. Instead, a new soap maker can get used to the time sensitive nature of cooling soap, adding fragrance oils, and coloring soap. Plus, this method skips right to the fun of creating to let you experience all the fun. Melt and pour soap allows you to have fun trying out soap making before jumping into more complex methods. You can create very simple soaps that are still cute with this method without taking too much time or skill to complete.

Melt and Pour Soap Benefits Creativity and Additional Ingredients

There is so much that you can do with melt and pour soap! As long as you have some molds, additives, and a creative mind you can make anything you want. Further, you can look to our Melt & Pour Soap Recipes page for soap making inspiration and ideas. In addition, you can print out the step by step soap making tutorials for each project on that page. While melting soap and pouring it into molds may sound like it is simple and boring, we can show you that there is so much that you can create with this method of soap making.

Melt and Pour Soap Benefits Manipulating the Shape of the Soap

Since melt and pour soap will take on the shape of whatever it sets up in, it is pretty easy to shape the soap into whatever you’d like. For example, our Lollipop Soap Recipe used a flat shaped soap layer and cut it into strips that we curled to create a lollipop appearance. Also, the Fresh Fallen Leaves Soap Recipe used straws to have soap shaped like a tree trunk. This along with the melt and pour soap leaves created a very pretty soap! Plus, you can make more simple soaps that are super cute like the Neapolitan Cupcake Soap Recipe, which uses a layered cupcake base and whipped frosting on top.

Melt and Pour Soap Benefits Adding Herbs and Mica

Also, you can incorporate micas and even herbs into your soap! You can take your chosen additives and include it right into your melted soap. We have done this with our Blarney Stone Soap Recipe. Gold mica was added to the clear melt and pour soap base and can be seen incorporated right into the soap bar. So, you can use this technique to create a prettier appearance for your soaps. Additionally, you can add herbs or powders to provide your soap with certain properties. For example, we created the Activated Charcoal Soap Recipe with activated charcoal powder to provide a more cleansing bar of soap that provides a deep pore clean. Regardless of why you want to add herbs, mica, or other powders, the best part is that you have the option to if you need it!

Melt and Pour Soap Benefits Making Embed Soap

Additionally, you can add soap embeds to your melt and pour soap bars. This technique gives you the freedom to create even more creative kinds of soap. This would have you create a smaller soap prior to creating your soap bar so that you can add shapes into the soap bar itself.

While it will all be melt and pour soap, you will be able to use the embedded soap to create designs or certain effects. For example, creating the swirl for the Cinnabun Melt and Pour Soap Recipe. We wanted to add a swirl to make the soap bar look more like a cinnamon roll and less plain after we cut our soap loaf. Plus, it just looks so cute! Also, we used this embed soap idea to make the seeds for our Watermelon Soap Recipe. Otherwise, our soap wouldn’t have looked like a slice of watermelon! Sometimes the embed soap really pulls your soap idea together!

Melt and Pour Soap Benefits Option to Make Clear Soap

Another creative option unique to melt and pour soap is creating a bar that you can see straight into. We all know that we can see embed soaps by cutting a loaf of soap into a few individual bars. However, diamond clear melt and pour soap offers another way to get creative with embed soaps. You can create a bar of soap with solid shapes and colors inside that you will be able to see without cutting.

Simply add a layer of diamond clear soap, place your solid object or colored soap inside, and add your top layer. This leaves you with a solid bar of soap with a fun design inside. We have used this method to create the Mango Loofah Melt and Pour Soap Recipe, where you can see the loofah inside the soap bar. Another idea is to use this soap technique to create kids toys with fun little toys inside.

Melt and Pour Soap Benefits Some Choice with the Ingredients

While you aren’t in complete control of the ingredients that are in your soap base, there are some things that you can do. First of all, you can choose your type of soap base. There are a lot of different melt and pour soap bases to choose from that all have different ingredients. For example, you can choose the SLS FREE Glycerin Melt and Pour Soap if you are looking for soap base without SLS. We have a lot of different types that may suit your individual soaping needs on Natures Garden’s Melt and Pour Soap page. Some of my favorites are our Shea Butter MP Soap Base and the Honey MP Base. Whether you are looking for a with a little extra of something, soap without a certain ingredient, or a base with a certain appearance, you can find all our soap bases on our site.

Melt and Pour Soap Benefits Controlling the Ingredients

Not only can you choose different types of soap base to control the ingredients, but you are in control of scenting and coloring. If you have sensitive skin or allergies, then you can create melt and pour soaps that agree with your skin. First, those with sensitivities to fragrances and essential oils can leave the bar unscented. Also, those that would rather not use liquid soap dye can use natural herbs to color the soap or leave the soap it’s natural color. Thus, you do have some control over the content of your soap bars.

Furthermore, you can add a little bit more of your favorite oils of butters to the soap base you choose. If you find a soap base that has all the ingredients you like, but you wish that it included another ingredient, you have the freedom to add something else. However, you need to be careful not to add too much as this can change the bar and could lose its lather. So, we would not recommend introducing more than a tablespoon of your added oils or butters per pound of mp soap. But, you can play with your recipe to find the right proportion for your soap bars.

Melt and Pour Soap Benefits Convenience of this Method

Another great reason to work with melt and pour soap is that it is super easy to create soaps! This soap making method is very simple in every way from prepping to create the soap to the clean up process. So, let’s go over all the ways that melt and pour soap making saves you time and effort.

Melt and Pour Soap Benefits Can Use the Soap Immediately

Also, you can use your soaps immediately after you make them. Obviously, the melt and pour soap base has been previously created and gone through saponification before you buy the melt and pour soap base. While you don’t have to worry about the lye, the soap already has it in the soap. But, the lye that was used to make the soap has already had time to fully react before the soap bases were sold. This means that the curing process has already completely finished before you even open the soap package. So, no need to wait after you form your masterpieces! As soon as your soaps are colored, scented, and out of their molds it can go straight into the bath tub! This is wonderful because you don’t have to worry about waiting long enough to prevent irritation and you can use the soap right away with no waiting.

Melt and Pour Soap Benefits Quick, Easy, and Fun

Furthermore, this soap making method is perfect for those that are in a hurry to have their soaps done. If you need to get your soaps ready quick for a gathering, a gift, or just excited to use it yourself, then this is a good soaping choice. Everything about this soaping method is quicker. In the beginning, there are fewer preparations and after you finish there is no curing time before using the soap. So, you will have your finished soaps ready as soon as everything has set up and popped out of the molds.

Also, melt and pour soap making is perfect for those that are in the mood to skip right to the creative part of soap making. Since melt and pour soap already has the first few steps of the soaping process complete, you don’t need to worry about these. So, you will have more time and energy to focus on creating super cute soap! You are left with the coloring, scenting, and shaping of your soaps. Simply melt the soap, fill your molds, and get creative. This soap method is an easy way to get right to the fun part of soap making!

Melt and Pour Soap Benefits No Need to Deal with Lye

While lye is safe with the necessary safety precautions, sometimes it is just easier to let somebody else do all the leg work. In this case, our melt and pour soap base lets you buy your slabs of soap after they have cured. Thus, there is a lot less to prepare when working with melt and pour soap. For example, you won’t need to take as many safety precautions or wear as much protective clothing during the creation of your soap. Also, you won’t have to deal with making the lye water solution or combining the oils at the right temperature. So, no need to have vinegar handy because lye burns won’t ever happen with this soaping method. Thus, melt and pour soap making is just that much easier to work with!

Melt and Pour Soap Benefits Clean Up Is Easy

Further, the clean up for this method is very easy. Since this the melt and pour soap base is already completed soap, all you really need to do is wash your utensils with water. No need to worry about unreacted lye and no intense scrubbing or vinegar required. Just like soap, your left over base will rinse right out of your bowl.

Activated Charcoal Soap Recipe

Natures Garden’s Activated Charcoal Soap Recipe is a layered soap recipe. This melt and pour soap project incorporates both activated charcoal powder and poppy seeds. In addition, it has a beautiful sparkle to the top layer. This was created by incorporating diamond dust mica pigment. We used our diamond clear melt and pour soap along with Blackened Amethyst Fragrance Oil. This soap not only looks beautiful, it also provides exfoliation with the addition of poppy seeds. Finally, activated charcoal was added due to its detoxifying properties.

Activated Charcoal Soap Recipe Other Supplies You Will Need

Activated Charcoal Soap Recipe Before You Begin

Prior to starting, we recommend wearing an apron, gloves, and a hair net. Also, clean and sanitize your work station. In addition, do the same with your mixing utensils and other supplies you will be using. You will need to prepare a bottle of rubbing alcohol. Fill your bullet bottle with rubbing alcohol and place a fine mist sprayer on top. Make sure you have all of your supplies and equipment out and ready to begin.

Activated Charcoal Soap Recipe Prepare Your Colorant

First, we will prepare our colorant. The colorant will be used in the first layer of melt and pour soap. For this step you will need a small mixing dish, a mixing spoon, your scale, activated charcoal, diamond dust mica pigment, 1/8 teaspoon measuring spoon, and finally your vegetable glycerin. Now, make sure your scale is set to weight in grams. In the small mixing bowl, add 1 gram of activated charcoal, 14 grams of vegetable glycerin, and just 1/8 teaspoon of your diamond dust mica pigment. Lastly, mix them all together until you have a smooth consistency.

Activated Charcoal Soap Recipe Preparing the First Layer of Soap

Once again you will need your scale. Additionally, you will need the diamond clear melt and pour soap base, your Blackened Amethyst Fragrance Oil, a medium sizes bowl, a mixing spoon, your microwave, and the colorant you prepared in the previous step. First, weigh out 517 grams of the clear soap base. Next, use the microwave to melt the soap base. You want to heat the base in 30 seconds bursts until it is melted. Be careful not to over-heat it. You only need to get the soap to a liquid state.

Activated Charcoal Soap Recipe Pouring the First Layer of Soap

Next, you will need your bottle of rubbing alcohol, your melted soap base, and your small rectangle tray soap mold. Now, pour the melted soap into the mold. You will want to pour slowly, avoiding the edges of the mold. I always find it easier to pour in the center to avoid splashing the edges of the mold. This is important because it is a layered mp soap. If you get the charcoal soap along the edges of the mold, it will show up on the edges of the next layer. Once the soap is setup, you will be able to see the dark soap on the clear layer. When you are finished pouring your melted soap, spray it with rubbing alcohol. Rubbing alcohol will release any air bubbles in the soap. Finally, allow the soap to setup completely before moving to the next step.

Activated Charcoal Soap Recipe Preparing and Pouring the Second Layer of Soap

The next layer will be a completely clear layer of soap. However, we chose to add poppy seeds to this layer. Not only does it look awesome, it also acts as an exfoliant. So, for this step you will need your mold containing the soap, poppy seeds, clear melt and pour soap, your scale, microwave, and rubbing alcohol. First, you will need about 7 grams of poppy seeds. Then, to soap setup in the mold, spread a thin layer of poppy seeds. You will want to make sure the poppy seeds are evenly dispersed throughout the mold.

Then, weigh out and melt 258 grams of your clear soap base. Once melted spray you previous, setup layer, with rubbing alcohol. Your rubbing alcohol not only helps release air bubbles, it will also help the soap adhere to the previous layer. Once you have sprayed your soap, go ahead and pour the melted clear soap right on top. Finally, spray the soap with rubbing alcohol to release any air bubbles. Then, let the mp soap setup completely before moving on. You will notice some of your poppy seeds will stay in between the layers of the soap, and some will float and disperse throughout your clear layer.

I would also like to point out one final thing. You will notice we chose not to scent this soap layer. When working with a clear soap base, some fragrance oils can cloud the base. We did not want to risk obstructing the visual effect of the poppy seed. So, we chose to leave it unscented. However, our final soap still has a nice strong blackened amethyst aroma.

Activated Charcoal Soap Recipe Cutting the Soap

In this step you will need your setup soap and a mitre box cutter. First, flip your mold containing the soap over on a table. Then, press gently on the bottom of your rectangle soap mold. Your soap should come out of the mold without any trouble. Now, notice the lines in your soap? These lines make cutting the soap a breeze. Simply use the soap cutter to cut along the lines. Once your soap is cut, you will have fifteen 2 ounce bars of activated charcoal soap.
